First of all, where does the name 'Slave Bracelet' come from?

There is a good chance that when you read the name 'slave bracelet' for the first time, you will re-read it to see if you have read it correctly. There is therefore considerable controversy surrounding the name of these bracelets. Where does the name of this bracelet come from and what does the name actually mean?

Archaeologists have discovered that slave bracelets were used more than 4,500 years ago. They discovered a statue of a dancing woman with these bracelets in Pakistan. This statue dates from approximately 2600 BC. Images of people wearing the bracelets have also been discovered in India. However, it cannot be said with complete certainty that these bracelets were used at the time to indicate a person's property. The bracelets could also serve as jewelry during this period.

At a later point in history, now in the 16th century, it was common for slaves from Africa and the Caribbean to have bracelets on their wrists. The bracelets served for identification and were usually provided with a number or a brand. A slave bracelet had no opening or closure, making it virtually impossible to remove the bracelets.

Yet there was not always a negative emotion associated with the bracelets. At the same time that bracelets were being used to identify slaves, slave bracelets were being used as decoration in India. In addition, in some peoples the piece of jewelry was even used as an item to declare love to a woman. Men gave the jewel to women they wanted to win over and hoped to have a better chance by giving the bracelet. This can even be traced back to the time of the Romans.

What are the slave bracelets used for nowadays?

Nowadays, a slave bracelet is of course no longer used as a means of identifying people. Nowadays the bracelet is mainly used as a fashion item. The slave bracelet is characterized by being an open or closed rigid bracelet. If there is an opening, the ends are often finished with balls, so that the bracelet stays in place.
